Message:: [QUOTE="Sheila Ruley, post: 2950133, member: 76273"]Dang. I do have to wear certain lenses for my glasses too. So far, nothing has made any difference. I am so scared of losing my vision and not being able to see my kids grow up. Today has been a decent day, but still dizzy. They have ruled out vertigo.  They had me scheduled for a fourth specialist, but we have no insurance and cannot afford it. There are no special programs that I can get into either.  They do not do a sliding scale either.  We are financially strained anyway. We had to pay $1000  upfront for my EEG. We just cannot afford those kind of bills.  If they could pinpoint my problem, I could probably qualify for disability. If I could get on disability, all my medical would be free. But, without a proper diagnosis, I cannot do that right now.  I rarely leave my house because I don't know when and episode will come on. If it happens while I am driving, I am not only putting my kids and I in danger, but also others on the road. When my husband drives,  if I have an episode in public, my husband would have to help me walk. It's just too much of a risk.  on top of all of this, we just found out that my son is autistic and nonverbal. We are just starting the process of getting in home care for him. Life is pretty interesting these days.[/QUOTE]
